Comedy Suitcase is a Twin Cities based theatrical production company dedicated to creating live comedy for all ages. Founded in 2010 by Joshua English Scrimshaw and Levi Weinhagen, Comedy Suitcase strives to bridge the gap between imaginative theater for children and sophisticated comedy for adults. In the words of Groucho Marx: “A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five!”

But when sculptures mysteriously come to life and attack Black Friday shoppers, the Averagers are forced to destroy the city’s beloved Spoonbridge and Cherry! Fearing for the safety of other cherished landmarks, the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board issues an ultimatum: either give Parks and Rec complete control of the Averagers, or give up crime fighting for good! The choice divides the team, pitting hero against hero in an all-out CHRISTMAS WAR!

In February, Comedy Suitcase will offer our social media pals a chance to win tickets to The Averagers in our AVERAGERS ART CONTEST! To learn more, follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Also in February, Comedy Suitcase will relaunch our podcast, REASON GONE MAD. Every episode, hosts Joshua English Scrimshaw and Levi Weinhagen discuss (and geek out over) the work of a classic 20th Century comedian. In honor of the Averagers, our February episode will focus on one of our favorite superhero spoofs – The Tick by Ben Edlund.
